Directorates

Other specialist teams

A major challenge in organising excellent nutrition support is to bring groups together in a common cause to provide the highest quality nutritional care for the patient. It is a major challenge for a clinical team to organise in such a way that it works efficiently with other teams with subtly differing agendas.

Each specialist area in a large hospital may have its own governance, structure and nutrition protocols but these must be in line with overall hospital or institutional policy.
